The La Plata Cannery.
Mach interest in manifest, d in this section
in the corn packing establishment at La Plata
of which Mr. s. D. Warfeld, of Baltimore, is
the proprietor. Large numbers of citizens visi,
tn. eanuery daily to insl ect the working Of the
various machinery employed, some OF which,
notable the machine for cutting the corn from
the cob lis well worth inspecting. This machine,
which is Mr.. War6eld's own invention, is tie
most thorough piece of mechanIsm m for the " ork
performed that we have ever seen, and is being
iargel, introduced by the inventor in The vsri'
Gus corn packing establishments ,hroug bout
the country. The canaery up TO dale has made
. pack Of $50, zoo cans of corn and this in he
face Of many drawb and srsppages which
necessarily attend The workings of sew enter
prises. In the 6rst place the amount Of sugar
corn planted by our farmers was sadly dehcieot
in quantity to give them steady employ me II
and it was delivered so irregularIy as TO ena-
quently on even less time. Another drawback
has been a lack Of water, as the well which sap
piled the boiler and exhaust tubs gave ou, very
shortly after the work commenced, ard they
have been put TO the necessity Of h.uIisg water
in barrels TO furnish a sufficient supply. 10
conversation with the superintendent Of the
establishment recently be informed Us that
they we're very well satisfied with the pack so
far made and thought that it would yield
handsome profit TO the packer. Apropos OF
L.,
profit there is in these goods, for it has gensr-
ally been supposed from the low price at which
they were retailed that but q small margin WAS
left for the packer. The superintendent, Mr..
Macomber, informed US that OF full time with
the 30 hands employed at the La Plata esta5
lshn. Mt its daily capacity was 400 cases or g.
500 cans, that the expense Of packing, outside
of cans and cases, was not more than $40, add
to this the other incidentsls such as wear OF
machinery, interest on investment, brokers'
commissions, freight, &c, and the whole eI-
pense would not reach $500, while the cases
would certainly bring from 81 so to $500
piece-naking 5000 or $500 for the lot. This
looks as if it was paying industry and had
aided materially in building up the northern
section OF our State. They pay farmers
So. 90 q ton for sugar corn and it is esli-
mated that an acre Of we'll cultivated land
will yield from 2 10 q tons, although our
opinion is that it will more frequently fall be-
low it. However, we believe our farmers in
this section would do we'll to plant the corn as
by putting their fields in wheat and tobacco at
present prices. Should the cannery prove q
paying investment this season, of which there
now seems to tie every probability, the pro-
prietor will engage more largely in the business
here next year, and will not con6ne his pack
entirely to corn but will use other vegetables
and fruits if they can te obtained. The corn
packing season lasts from about the lst of Au-
gust 10 the middle of September, at which tine

Prompt Collections.

Prompt corrections.
We have several times heretofore had oc-
C c.sion to speak OF the pronptness of the pre-
sent collectors Of taxes in this county in re-
s,onding to the calls OF the county commis-
sio,ers for funds to pay the current expense and
have congratulated the people generally upon
securing such efficient and painstskiug officers
to discharge the most ocerous and difficult
task in all the public service. No call has been
made up to this time for any amount whatever
that has not been met by the collectors within
q very shor, period of the time for which the
call was made. More than this, ose of the CO...
leclors, Thomas B. Cough, OF the second dis
trict, has, on more than one occasion, antici-
patrd the cal. for funds by the board and has
paid in The money that WAS needed seeks pre-
vious to the time it Was called for. This was
notable So in case Of the road fund.- $500 OF
which is necessary from each collector each
month to meet the road sxPense.. M.. Cough
has always been ah al OF lime In these pay
mens, and be has nov in the hands OF the
clerk and treasurer 5000 which has been paid
in advance on account OF this fund. To bis
ere lii be it also i'd That he has paid all orders
givel ON hun from the bolrd to date, and the
.nly am.uni nos due BY him to the county
comm ssioners frohl The levy Of 1886 is about
$l.100 oa the amount charged to him from ihe
road fuLd in tn.t iesy. At the hast meeting
Of the board call as made on each of the
collectors o $500 Of the insane p,upe- fund TO
pay 10 the insane .syiums v ho ~.re ciamsrous
for taoaey. Within three days thereafter Mr..
Cough paid in his $500 and On Tuesday las,
be paid to the clerk the balance of the amount
due by him 10 this fusd. We have NO doubt
that the other collectors will mee, the call on
time, bat in view of the slow collections hereto
fore made in the county we cannot refrain from
giving Mr.. Cough the full credit be deserves
for the abe, careful and prompt manner 10
which he has administered the trust ed
in him when app ,inied to his present position.
These are facts with which we are thoroughly
familiar AMI We can only add SWELL done

From the Neso York Herald.
A curious scene was last week enacted
on the observation platform of the "Bat-
tie OF Gettysburg" While the lecture
was In progress a tall, dark man of COM
manding figure and with the bearing of a
soldier stood among the spectators, eager.
ly listening to the description OF the bat

turer's words with an equal amount Of
attention stood another man, a resident
of Brooklyn, who is well-knOwn to have
seen considerable service in the late civil

To the Editor of the Eagle.
The physicians of the city are respectfully
requested to notify the superintendent or

Physicians treating cases of contagious di-

with families where such diseases are treat
ed, definite instructions ABOUT proper time Of

the ignorance or carelessness of families
where such contagious diseases do in fact
exist, if any such there be.
